Pride and Tradition

That's The Way You've Always Done It?
Well That Doesn't Make it Right
You're Gonna Have To Find A New Way
And Swallow Some Of Your Pride
Dispose Of What You Call Tradition
Our's Is Not One To Champion
With A History Of Gore And Death
Look At All The Friends We've Won

Take Your Pride And Take Your Tradition
And Slap It With The Old Extradition
Peace In The World Is What I Am Wishin'
So We've Gotta Send The President Fishin'

That's The Way You've Always Done It?
Well That Doesn't Make It Right
We're Gonna Have To Find A New Way
And You, Swallow Your Pride!
Dispose Of What You Call Tradition
Even If It's As Old As Time Itself
While You're Livin' Your Good Life
You're Puttin' Others Through Hell

Take Your Pride And Take Your Tradition
And Slap It With The Old Extradition
An End To Poverty Is What I Am Wishin'
So We've Gotta Send The Prime Minister Fishin'

Some Plans Were Fine To Begin With
But They Could Stand To Be Revised
You're Gonna Have To Learn To Change
And Swallow Some Of Your Pride
Dispose Of What You Call Tradition
Or You'll Be A Minority (Oh My!)
You'd Better Make Some Concessions
So Future Generations Are Free!

Take Your Pride And Take Your Tradition
And Slap It With The Old Extradition
Equal Rights Is What I Am Wishin'
So We've Gotta Send The President Fishin'

Change Is On The Way!
Change Is On The Way!
Change Is On The Way!
Change Is On The Way!
Will You Be There?
Will You Be There?

Take Your Pride And Take Your Tradition
And Slap It With The Old Extradition
A United World Is What I Am Wishin'
So We've Gotta Send George Dubya Fishin'
So We've Gotta Send George Dubya Fishin'
So We've Gotta Send George Dubya Fishin'!
